Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring property no 7 Wendron Way with particular reference to privacy

What decided it

The raised decking would result in an unacceptable level of overlooking affording unobstructed views into habitable rooms of the neighbouring property at a relatively close distance, significantly detrimental to the living conditions of its occupiers with reference to privacy.

Plan policies cited: Policy DS5 of the Bradford Core Strategy Development Plan Document 2017
